Not to be a Negative Nelly, and it sounds like this may not have been important data, but why would one use an unpaid, non-supported, backup solution? To me, while you may be saving a few pennies, the risks far outweigh the savings.

@Danp No worries - just asking the question. I wasn't sure if this was in a production setting, and if it was critical data. IMHO - If it's worth backing up, it's worth having a proper solution, and most proper solutions are paid solutions. Don't get me wrong, I like free solutions, especially for testing. Sounds like that was your plan.

well it is not that the free version is made to destroy your backups. it should just provide less functionality. and no support.

@matteo-nunziati Agreed, it should. In reality though, if this had been a production system with critical data, the free version would not have helped, but with the paid version, support may have been able to save their data.
